    I am getting the u-bend deleted at a exhaust shop later today and was wondering with just getting rid of that if the exhaust will sound any different...everything is completely stock right now. Possibly thinking of replacing the resonator with a glasspack. What combination will sound the best with stock mufflers for now?

    It will sound the same. I would keep the stock res and mufflers.

    it will sound the same with the u-bend deleted and the only thing a glasspack will do that a resonator wont will be to 'smooth' out the exhaust tone. it might also get a little louder with a glasspack compared to a resonator since a resonator is there to keep things quiet while a glasspack is to help with rasp and tone.

    i do like the idea of it getting a little louder and would it sound good with the glasspack instead of resonator... i dont want it to sound bad and have to pay to have resonator put back on

    I got the u-bend delete done today at a local exhaust shop. Decided to leave the resonator in for now. I took in an O2 sensor bung from ZZP and they installed it for a total of $30 for pipe and labor. I notice a difference especially around 40mph where I would have some lag and now it pulls strong right through that range. Very pleased.

    You've never heard of the word "ignant"? I think I heard it used somewhere in Georgia. An alternate use is "ignorant".

    i say ignant when im talking about ignant people, but if you actually have grammar and vocabulary i will talk to you the way a real person should talk. however, i live in ghetto milwaukee and a lot of the time that isnt the case, like the guy who almost ran his car up my ass on the way home from work when i turned in front of him (left turn) while he was doing 60+ in a 40mph zone. that would have been a ghetto conversation. how much money you got on the guy not having insurance and/or a license?

    Good point, It doesn't matter if you are rich or poor, it doesn't cost anything to speak English correctly. I'm not the most edjimicated man but I've gotten far just by speaking properly.
